A Modest Proposal: A Different Version - 1,024 words
A Modest Proposal: A Different Version I am among
the 850 people that attend Jesuit Prep. Each day
at Jesuit Prep, we attend 8 grueling classes with
45 minutes of monotonous teaching about many
subjects. Within each classroom, all the beady
eyes of each student stare off into either space
or the hanging clock on the opposite wall. As the
45 minutes tick away and the teacher rambles about
a subject, the second and minute hand on the clock
seem to slow down, then stop their rotational
turns. While the clock appears to stop, often our
heads droop down, at where we are sitting, till
they reach a comfortable position upon our arms
which we have placed across our desks. Once this

Abortion - 1,731 words
Abortion Abortion is the ending of pregnancy
before birth and is morally wrong. An abortion
results in the death of an embryo or a foetus.
Abortion destroys the lives of helpless, innocent
children and illegal in many countries. By
aborting these unborn infants, humans are hurting
themselves; they are not allowing themselves to
meet these new identities and unique
personalities. Abortion is very simply wrong.
Everyone is raised knowing the difference between
right and wrong. Murder is wrong, so why is not
abortion? People argue that it is not murder if
the child is unborn. Abortion is murder since the
foetus being destroyed is living, breathing and
moving. Why is it that if an infant is dest ...

Ache Of Marriage - 714 words
Ache Of Marriage In "The Ache of Marriage," Denise
Levertov attempts to explain the pain this
marriage experiences. It is a pain that affects
both emotional and physical states of being.
Levertov describes the pain as if someone were
reading her thoughts. Through Levertov's use of
non-conventional form, the theme of the pain of
marriage and overcoming that pain jumps from the
page. The author divides the poem into two parts.
On one hand, Levertov shows the difficulty in
making a marriage last. She depicts how a marriage
can ache and hurt. On the other hand, Levertov
says that a blissful marriage as the ultimate
goal. All the trial and tribulations a marriage
endures prove to be worth it the ...

Affirmative Action - 1,553 words
Affirmative Action Affirmative Action Affirmative
action is one of the more recent and popular civil
rights policies that affect today's society.
Affirmative action can be described as nothing
more than a lower educational standard for
minorities. It has become quite clear that
affirmative action is unfair and unjust. However,
in order to blend race, culture, and genders to
create a stable and diverse society, someone has
to give. How can this be justified? Is there a
firm right or wrong to affirmative action? Is this
policy simply taking something from one person and
giving it to someone else, or is there more to
this policy, such as affirmative action being a
reward for years of oppression ...

Affirmative Action If one is to discuss and
problem solve an issue, he or she must first know
what the issue is truly about. Affirmative action
is defined as the equal opportunities given to
women, minorities, and small groups so they will
have the same tools, education, and allotment to
achieve their goals in life. Since affirmative
action came about, debate arises daily about if it
is truly equal and fair. Was it a word made as a
cushion to the people so they will feel equal?
Another interpretation is did this word actually
make the white male group less important and
unequal to the minority group, doing more harm to
others than good. Affirmative action is not used
unequally in the world, ...

Agression Aggression Aggression is a critical part
of animal existence, which is an inherent driving
force to humans, as we, too, are animals. The
source of aggression within humans is a long
summative list, but before trying to understand
its source one must apply a working definition of
aggression. Aggressive behavior is defined by
Encyclopedia Britannica as any action of an animal
that serves to injure an opponent or prey animal
or to cause an opponent to retreat. (7) David G.
Myers states that aggression is any physical or
verbal behavior intended to hurt or destroy.(9)
There are many types of aggressive behaviors,

discuss the importance of AIDS research, the
numbers of AIDS patients and their cost, and
benefits of research to other fields. Freundlich
and Fumento agree that it is important to study
AIDS, because it is a threat to young and old
alike, opposed to cancer and heart disease being
mainly targeted at older people. But Fumento
thinks that AIDS spending should be realistic, not
just tailored to fit the needs of protesters and
demanding organizations, simply to keep them
quiet. They also both agree that AIDS is a new and
upcoming epidemic that is becoming more of a

... emands rested upon prevailing norms of
workers' interests and power. Since World War II,
labor leaders have placed a disproportionate
amount of emphasis on economic gains, and the
collective bargaining process has gravitated
toward these areas. At the same time, management
has carefully guarded its prerogatives from the
bargaining process.24 In this context, it seems
likely that in envisioning a future strike,
controllers felt that wages could and should be
one aspect of it. Yet wages were not the decisive
factor for most, and their other demands, derived
from a far more vital, ideological interest than
economic gains, evoked their passionate and
surprisingly unified response. Individual ...

Also Known As - 753 words
Also Known As. Nicknames are a substitute of a
name given to a person in fun, affection, and
belittlement, usually descriptive. They can also
be used to shorten a person's name, like "Dick,"
for Richard. Nicknames, whether positive or
negative, are only describing a person's general
characteristics. Although hurtful nicknames can
lower a persons' reputation and self-esteem,
joyful nicknames give the person a sense of pride.
O.K., first of all people sometimes take a
nickname way too far. People might be given a
nickname for that one single little thing they
did, and somehow it gets turned into a nickname
that sticks for a long time. For example: One day
